Description

Regular expressions play an important role within the ferite language. They can be used from native code using a very simple interface.

group contents Functions ferite_compile_regex(FeriteScript,char,int) - Compile a regular expression to make things faster ferite_create_regex() - Create a regular expression structure used to store various information for them ferite_delete_regex(FeriteRegex) - Delete a strucute created using ferite_create_regex() ferite_generate_regex(FeriteScript,char,char,char,char) - A convinience function to create and popular a regex structure ferite_regex_dup(FeriteRegex) - Duplicate a regular expression structure

Functions

function ferite_compile_regex Compile a regular expression to make things faster Declaration:     void *ferite_compile_regex( FeriteScript *script, char *pattern, int options ) Parameters:     Parameter #1: FeriteScript *script - The script     Parameter #2: char *pattern - The pattern to compile     Parameter #3: int options - The options that effect how it is compiled Returns:     A pointer to the in memory compiled regular expression

function ferite_create_regex Create a regular expression structure used to store various information for them Declaration:     FeriteRegex *ferite_create_regex() Returns:     A new FeriteRegex structure

function ferite_delete_regex Delete a strucute created using ferite_create_regex() Declaration:     void ferite_delete_regex( FeriteRegex *rgx ) Parameters:     Parameter #1: FeriteRegex *rgx - The regex to delete

function ferite_generate_regex A convinience function to create and popular a regex structure Declaration:     FeriteRegex *ferite_generate_regex( FeriteScript *script, char *pattern, char *swapbuffer, char type, char *flags ) Parameters:     Parameter #1: FeriteScript *script - The script     Parameter #2: char *pattern - The regular expression     Parameter #3: char *swapbuffer - The buffer that is evaluated on a match     Parameter #4: char type - The type of the regular expression. s for a swap, m for a match, c for an assignment.     Parameter #5: char *flags - The flags the effect the behavior of the regular expression.
